SUDBURY — Dec. 5, 2022: Université de Hearst and Collège Boréal are proud to announce the signing of an articulation agreement that will facilitate access for Boréal students to further their studies at Université de Hearst.
This agreement is specifically aimed at students who are graduating from Collège Boréal's Finance and Business Administration programs across the province. In fact, students who hold a diploma in Business Administration – Accounting, Business Administration Techniques and Office Administration Techniques and who have obtained a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.2 or 80 per cent in these programs will be eligible for the Bachelor of Business Administration and Management program at Université de Hearst as early as the third year. This represents a significant saving of time and money for these students who, at the end of two years at Université de Hearst, will obtain a bachelor's degree in addition to their college diploma.
“Université de Hearst’s Bachelor of Business Administration and Management has a proven track record and is highly regarded for its experiential approach that stands out from other bachelor's degrees in this field,” said Luc Bussières, president of Université de Hearst.
“We are pleased to offer Collège Boréal graduates the opportunity to quickly complete a degree that will allow them to further differentiate themselves in today's job market."
"Three of Collège Boréal's main priorities are to increase access to postsecondary education in French, to meet the needs of the job market with highly qualified bilingual graduates and to create strong community partnerships,” said Daniel Giroux, president of Collège Boréal.
“This initiative responds to these three priorities by ensuring access for our graduates to a promising and relevant path with a partner of choice."
